Just for the heck of it, give me your rankings in the comments as far as you want to go. As soon as they are officially available in a format we can use, I will update this post with more information.

For the record, I think this is a publicity stunt done to somehow legitimize the CFB Playoff that will only make things worse, not better.
UPDATE: Baylor is #13, third in the Big 12 behind #7 TCU (who we beat) and #9 KSU (who we have yet to play). The SEC has 4 of the Top 6 because of course, and somehow Ole Miss made it in despite their loss this past weekend.
A lot of talk about importance of head-to-head results in CFP rankings previously. Interesting.
